Katherine the male (yes, male) Betta that I rescued passed away on Sunday. He had just recovered from severe SBD for about a month or two, and just last week started slowly fading away. He didn't show any signs of illness, it just seemed like it was his time to go. My only regret is that he didn't get the chance to experience a happy, healthy life for as long as he should have. He will be missed. :(
